Peer Reviews


- Jeeves- To make it easier, you could have used paint to write the text.
- Lola- It looks different and...exciting.
- Jade- I think that you should add music to the dances.

Reflection


- We have created a movie up to the standards that we expected. We think that we have met the requirements for the audience and stuck to our plan fairly well.
- We used our current knowledge of StopMotion Pro and Movie maker and imported music through movie maker to add to our movie.
- We used the internet to update wiki and to check up on requirements.
- We co operated well and took on suggestions from others.
- We didn't allocate appropriate time to each step.
- One thing that we could have done better, was worked faster creating the characters and spent more time filming.
- We would like to learn how to extend the time of each frame in StopMotion Pro.
- Peer reviews that we have got so far are encouraging. We are happy with them and changed a few things according to suggestions that were made.
- We used our class time fairly well, but had to use one lunchtime. 8/10.
- We enjoyed making this film and are happy with the product.
